• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Uh, Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The rex was not chasing the jeep. Murray, Murray, you there.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You love sandwiches. Huh, Let's go to uh eighty.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: It was bo.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Wow that prime time. Maybe I had a crush on
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Betty Rubbell.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: He caught them the game last night, although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the game. You're listening to Stu gottson Company.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It is ste Gootson Company, presented by Fandel and the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Fandel's sportsbook.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Alex today sitting in with us. We appreciate.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He's a host on the Yes Network, also host Heat
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Checked Trivia, and he's been described and only by Taylor Alex.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He's been described as Stu Gotts when Stu Gotts cared.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: About sports, I am fucking offended by that. I mean,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: I'll completely take that. I'll sign up for that any
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: day of the week. And I've heard Taylor say this before,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: but it always leads me to more questions. You know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: when did you stop caring about sports? Is it when
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: you started your sports show.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's certainly well.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It certainly coincided with that, because when you host a show,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it kind of kind of blurs you as a sports fan,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: right because you're you're just constantly watching stuff. You're not
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: enjoying it, You're just thinking about the take you're going
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to have the next day. But there's a direct correlation
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: between when I stopped caring about sports and when my
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: kids were born.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, cared.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: About them less. I don't care about them as much.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say I don't care about him.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to stay up till late fifty
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to watch an NCAA championship game that I don't really
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: fucking care about.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I prioritize.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: How about that they need to move the start of
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: these games up a little bit, and I know they'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: have the West Coast audience who's happy about it. Find
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: me West Coast fans who as a collective care as
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: much about.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Their sports as East Coast fans. I know that's East
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Coast bias, yes, but you know what, look at the numbers.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Numbers.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling if you were sitting in rush
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hour traffic at five point fifty in the afternoon at LA.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: You would have to that being a sports fan. You
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: One hundred I lived in LA for a couple months.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I loved it out there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I would wake up at nine thirty in the morning
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: to go to the bar and watch the Giants at
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: ten am, and I was the only one in there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: That's all I'm gonna say. If your heart's in it,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you'll make your work right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Do you fancy yourself a younger Stu Gotts that cares
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: about sports?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Is that? I mean absolutely?
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I'm about to change my Instagram biot today.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: What do you get to change it too?
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: My younger Sue Gotts when he cared about sports except
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: a Yankees fan of the Giants fan.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, so important. Disclaimer, so lucky.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: I think it's I think it is a bit unfair
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: to characterize Stu gottsas not caring about sports. He just
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: kind of shifted where his priorities are. Like Masters week,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: He's always going to get up for this week Master.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, what he what?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I was shocked yesterday.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: It seemed like he didn't know who Mark Viento's was,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: and Mark Vento's has been on his favorite baseball team
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: for about the past three four seasons.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no clue.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Games go to the NLCUS and twenty twenty four without
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Mark Fiantos, we don't. Okay, he faced last year, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: when quit a minute playoffs, we're talking about playoffs.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, all I do is get mad because of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the radio show. I get mad at the World Baseball
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Classic because Soda.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Was out with a hammy or something like that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and these guys got to stop playing in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the WBC because I'm telling you, they're getting hurt
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: left and right.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know this is a classic Mets fan
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: talk here, because you're still sour about Daz getting hurt
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the WBC. I was down in Miami for both semi
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: finals games. In the finals, that was some of the
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: most fun baseball I've ever watched. And they need to
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: do that every single year, not just have the MLB
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: players in it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Let's double down and triple down.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean every two years, three years is fine? You
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: still care about sports, Mikey, go ahead, Alex.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You seem you seem so much happier.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: That's why I'm having a trouble picturing you as a
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: younger Stutts, and then it hit me, you're a Giants
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: and Yankees fan, Like, there's a closing doors moment in
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: your life, stew Gots where you could have taken that
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: path and you could have been so happy in your life.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, see super Bowls and worlds.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, like, yeah, that's that's the difference.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: He's a younger me who chose wisely. Yes he is.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, thirty years as the Mets and Jets fans in
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: dog years is a lot more than that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It will do to you, man, It will just suck
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the fun out of this shit very quickly, especially the Jets. Like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the Mets gave me a little bit of winning, all right,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they gave me eighty six. I think we had an
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: NLCS in nineteen ninety with a Subway series against the Yankees.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You just informed me that we made an NLCS with
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the Inos, I mean. And so it's the Jets. It
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is the fucking Jets. They make me miserable. They do,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: even when they control the draft, and they do, they
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: control the next two I know they're gonna fuck it up.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So who cares?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, do you think that there's any opposing fan
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: base in the NFL who dislikes the Jets as much
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: as Jets fans like Patriots fans don't care about the Jets.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: The Jets Dolphins fan Bill's fans like, yes, they just
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: beat up on you, guys.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Jets fans hate the Jets.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Jets make those other organizations which aren't great,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: by the way, but they make them look great.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Now there is a weird thing about Jets fans where
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: we will sit around and we will motherfuck our team
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: to no end.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But if you do it, it gets so mad at you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: You don't get to do it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You haven't earned the right to motherfuck the Jets fan.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: We know she's ugly, but she's beautiful to me.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: But she's my ugly.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: She's my ugly for her personality, like her personality.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Stay away. It's it's all we have. I mean, why
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: would you?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Why did you get to enjoy the only thing that's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: enjoyable to us, which is bashing that team. What did
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you make of the of the championship game last night?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I think it was it kind of held form right
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yukon had to muck it up, play the game slowly,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Try to play that game in the sixties both teams
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: had injuries. Michigan was just too overwhelming and too talented.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I do find this part of it funny. If you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: asked a Michigan fan today, Hey, you could spend a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: day with last night starting five that won the National Championship,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: or you could spend the day with the Fab Five,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a team that never won the National Championship. They were
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the runners up two years in a row, back to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: back second place. Every Michigan fan would choose the Fab five.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, totally.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: And I watched last night's game with three Michigan fans,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: so they were having a great time. They also wanted
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: me to tell you that they were in the same
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: suite as you for Dead and Company at MSG when
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Maggie Rogers came out.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I remember, yeah it is yeah, so you know, talking
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: about Yeah, we went.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Down to the floor.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: We were hanging out with Bill Walton. I had my
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: best friend with me, Robert Hazen, he was there. It
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: was right after I did the way in for the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Moscvodol fight, which was right across the street. Yes, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: so I just mosied across the street from that I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: did the way It. I was on stage for Nate
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Diaz and Massadal because I'm Stig Gott's and the Rock
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was there, the whole deal. Then we went across the street. Yes,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I was in a suite. I don't remember seeing them.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I was fucked up, but I do remember the show.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: How about that, Taylor, that's a hell of a day.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great day.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Yes, Taylor, he can't remember if we have a guest
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: booked for ten o'clock or eleven o'clock. But you ask
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: him about one of the thousands of dead shows he's
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: been to, and he'll give you a play by play
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: of the set list. Who was there, what the what
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: the arena smelt like, what kind of not shows he had?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, dude.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: They brought suite.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt. They brought Matthew Rodgers out for Friend
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of the Devil.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Then she went away. They brought her back for the encore,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the wait.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It was a double encore, broken palace as well, broke
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: down palace as well. It was a hell of a show. Listen,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: when you do a day where you participate in a weighing, right,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and Dana White's on stage and the Rocks on stage,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and I introduced myself to the rock and he's like, Stu,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I know who you are. I've been on your show
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: fifteen times and you have one of those days and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: then you top it off with the Dead show.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That's a day that you you never forget.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: You know, that's some serious versatility right there. You know
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: you're You're going from being with the Rocket away and
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: in Ny Diaz to singing covers of the band with Maggie.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Rodgers on stage. Yes, the Duality of Man.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, standing next to Bill Walton, my friend, Yes, I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: missed it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Are you that that's the biggest flex out of anything
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: you just said there? That that is Walt Bill Walton?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yes? Are you into the Dead? I am?
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Big time time? Yeah, more so through my friends. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: feel like most people get into the Dead through their parents.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: My parents more of like Stone's Billy Joel, more classic
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: rock than jam band. My friends got me into. In
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years, I've been to a couple
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Dead and Co Shows at City Field, and.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I would love to go to the Sphere.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But yes, well Bobby passed away, so that's going to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: be problematic.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's going to be a little tough. Although I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: am told that Mayor will.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So the business arrangement is is that Mayor owns fifty
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: one percent of debt in company. Bobby has entrusted him
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to carry this forward, and so we'll see what.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Incarnation they come back in.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: But whatever it is, if you're interested, I will invite
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you to a show at the Sphere me and you.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Taylor can't come, okay.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Now, whatever happens in the rest of the show, this
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: is the highlight of the show right here. Thank you
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: for that. That's a peak invite, right Yes, yes.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Taylor, I'm excluding you because I don't want you to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: see me that fucked up. I mean, that's otherwise, you're
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: more than welcome to gum if you'd like.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: I've tried to get into the music a couple of times.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Just don't think I'm in the right headspace.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the win Sphere Vegas Golf. Yeah, it's a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: great time. They really fucked the concert. You don't think.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Let me just got to the sports book. That's where
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you want to be. So anyway, what were your thoughts
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of the game last night? Michigan wins the National Championship.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yukon was going for three and four years. I'm glad.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Danny Hurley in his suit lost.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, starting with that last point, if Danny Hurley won
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: last night, we were about to have some uncomfortable conversations
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: about Danny Hurley. Yes, we were an all times coach,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and I think he's already in that conversation. But you
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: won three and four years, Yeah, it would have gotten
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: uncomfortable very quickly. Yukon played an unbelievable first half, almost
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: the perfect first half, and then you look up and
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: they're down by four. So you know, I feel like
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: it gave Michigan enough time to make the adjustments. You know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: they were playing at Yukon pace the first half of
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: the game, slow and methodical, and you could tell Michigan
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: in the second half said all right, we're gonna speed
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: set up, and at first a lot of bad shots
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: early in the second half when they tried to adjust.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: But just because you want to take shots early in
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the shot clock and speed it up doesn't mean you're
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: getting good looks around.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Halfway through that second half, it felt like they were
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: just gonna pull away and I'll come back. Also, shout
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: out to Michigan for hitting what twenty five out of
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: twenty seven free throws right. That is championship DNA and
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: without your star player being healthy. Mike, I want your
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: thoughts on his on Yaxell's press conferences. By the way,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I can't decide how I feel about them. It is
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I appreciate the honesty, but it feels a little.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Off to me.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: But incredible way, and they were great the whole year.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I'm actually a Duke fan, which I very much have
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: my tail between my legs right now. I got a
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: first hand look at how good Michigan is all year.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: That Michigan Duke game was one of the most fun
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: games I watched all year. I think they were deserving
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: and the fact that Yukon kept it close testament to them,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: but Michigan was definitely the better team.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if the Axel Lendenberg is one hundred percent, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: think Michigan probably wins that game by fifteen Plulus points
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: pretty easily. But suone, Michigan became the first team to
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: start five transfers in the National Championship game. You look
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: at where their starting five was playing last year. You
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: win be North Carolina, Illinois, UCLA, and Alabama, and I
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: think it's a perfect representation for this transfer portal error
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: where they perfectly constructed their roster to where they can
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: shoot two of fifteen from three and still win a
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: game convincingly against a great Yukon offense.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: The other modern day Fab five. I mean, seriously, they
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: don't come in as freshmen. They come in at all
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: different times, but they come in the same season they
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: go win a national championship.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: I feel like in ten to fifteen years, the one
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: name other than Yaxl that will come to mind for
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Michigan fans most is does because in this era of
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: college basketball, if your coach can get your guys to
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: gel that quickly, Yeah, five new starters coming from other schools,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I think coaching matters more now more than ever.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I'll take it one step further.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: If you could take FAU to a Final four, you're
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a great coach, period, and a discussion like now he's.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Got a national championship.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming he's going to with more national champion hips.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: He's a great coach. He's a great guy. I've gotten
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to know him a little bit. He was on the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: show with us a couple of times last year when
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: he was the head coach at FAU.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: But he is a good coach, and you're right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: To get those five guys to come together that quickly,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that is difficult to do.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: So I'm trying to figure out why the Fab five
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: had such staying power.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, they were really cool.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, they were kind of transcendent for where they were
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: in the college basketball landscape. Stu, I think the staying
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: power is the nickname Fab Five. It's a great nickname.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: This Michigan team needs a nickname, like the Terrific Transfer
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: or something.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it was a it was a nickname they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: didn't give themselves.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: That's a terrible nickname. By the way.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It's a nickname they didn't give themselves. We gave it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to them, which is the best kind of nickname. The
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Fab Five.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: They were cultural icons. Man. They were five eighteen year
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: olds who came in.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: They wore their shorts longer than everyone else, They made
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: fashion statements, they didn't give a bleep about the NCAA,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and they almost pulled it off as five eighteen year
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: old freshmen.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: They were a walk away by Chris Weber, a time
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: away from winning a national championship.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And then they went back to the national championship game,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but they never won. So I think if you told
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Danny Hurley sixty nine sixty three, that's gonna be the score,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I think he would have.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Said, hey, we won the game, right, he would have
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: taken it's.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: For sure, right, absolutely, absolutely, And if they could have
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: played a little bit like how they did in the
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: first half and the second half, it would have been, Yes,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: it would have It would have come down a little
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: bit more to the wire. It just felt like Michigan
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: kept them at an arm's length, and even when it
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: got down to four or five points. I'm not a
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Michigan fan, so you know, maybe I wasn't sweating like
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: they were, but I don't know, it felt like they
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: had it the whole time.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: You felt like Duke should have been playing, right, you did?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You felt like Duke should have been in that game
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: last Yeah?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, honest. Yeah, you no business being there. Just hold
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: onto the ball. Just hold on to the ball. That's it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: And not just Caden Boozer. Three guys passed the ball. Yeah,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: just hold onto the ball. Yeah, it's good to figure
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: it out better definitely, not better. And I definitely wasn't
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: at the Final four last year when they lost to Houston.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: He definitely wasn't there. How do you and Taylor get along?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And I'll get it well?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: For me, Duke is by far my fifth. Like I'm
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: a New York sports fan, right. I worked at Duke
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: for a year. I was kind of a free agent.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I didn't go to a huge sports school, so I
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: became a Duke fan. But Duke is, you know, definitely
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: below the Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, So you know, heartbroken.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: That might be a stretch, but yeah, Duke should have
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: been there last time.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, who's your college football team, Indiana? No, you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: know what, I'll stick with Duke.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: I'll stick with You can't become a Duke basketball fan,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: not route for Duke football.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: You could do whatever the fuck you want. Man, sports
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: gotta tell it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Definitely definitely Alex's worst trade about him being a Duke fan.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: But Alex, I had I had Michigan in uh my
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: bracket pool yesterday where if Michigan won, I was gonna
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: win a lot of money on my bracketpool.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I was considering hedging.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Ultimately, to Stu Gotts's disapproval, I decided to go down
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: with my bracket. If Michigan did lose, I was counting
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: the money already. What what I didn't account for. When
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: you think Yukon is dead, you have to kill them
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: about four more times?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, you do. Yes. When they started pressing at the end,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: it got interesting.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: It was like a can end like this.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, it might have been Danny Hurley's best coaching job.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not even joking that.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Team Michigan was so much more talented than Connecticut.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Connecticut had guys injured.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I know Michigan did as well, but to keep that
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: game close to me, Danny Hurley did an exceptional job,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: even while losing the national championship.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I think this was by far the least talented of
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: his championship teams in the last couple of years. Like
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: if this team somehow played the team from two years
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: ago and three years ago, I think those teams would
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: have killed this year's team.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, yep, do you like Danny Hurley? I do.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I think college basketball thrives on these coaches who are
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: bigger than the school. And we've seen a lot of
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: these coaches step down. You know, they're in different places
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: than they were when they made names for themselves. When
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: you have Danny Hurley's Rick Bettino's Calipar. He's that's when
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: college basketball is thriving. And you know, I think what's
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: interesting about the Fab five is that is one of
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: the few teams where you can talk about the players first.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: A lot of other times you're talking about the coaches first.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: It's the resumes of the coaches. And you know, yes,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: these guys could be hatable sometimes, even looking the women's game,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: how Geno acted the other night, it's ridiculous, right, But
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: I'm also kind of here for that, Like that's what
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: you sign up for with college basketball. These coaches who
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: are think they're bigger than the school and they rule
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: their little kingdom.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm here for it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: He's a throwback, right you want Gino and Don Stalely
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to never get along. It's yes, for us, it's it's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: andy and they never will get along. But Hurley's kind
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of a throwback to like, as you pointed out, Tom
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Izzo and coach K Bob Huggins, guys like that. It's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see if that continues with guys
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: like Mike Malone at North Carolina. Like that's like he
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't exactly embrace the tradition of college basketball and the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: University of North Carolina.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I actually love that higher for them because
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: it's so easy to see his recruiting pitch. Hey, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: am a national I am a championship winning coach in
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: the NBA, and I coached NICOLEA Jokic. Right, Yes, Hey,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you're seventeen years old, we'll want to come play for me.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Oh you're twenty one years old and you played at
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Tulsa and you want.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: To come chansfer here. That's a pretty good reason to
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: work for Belichick.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say that sounds awful. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: won Super Bowls and I coached Tom Brady.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: What Carolina?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Carolina has clearly decided college sports has turned more and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: more professional, and he continues to do so with each
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: passing day. Right, And so it seems like Carolina has
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: gone away from Carolina guys and more and more to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: professional guys who have run organizations and teams before at
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a professional level. And I guess I'm okay with that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: When you consider the changes going on in college.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I think the bigger question is why is Carolina getting
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: their like tenth choice.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the bigger question because it's hard.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: It's hard to criticize the decision when a lot of
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: other guys passed up on it and they're kind of
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: left with not many other options.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the moment that stunned me was when it came
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: out that Iowa's coach Ben McCullum turned down and interviewed.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's amazing.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: First off, Ben.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Mccollumb, you might have been towards the top of my board,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: But who the hell do you think you are that
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: you're better than North Carolina.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: He's from Iowa, he's coaching in Iowa, he's getting nil money.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: What does he need the blue addresses of being the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: head coach at North Carolina where Ubug Davis takes you
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to a final four, beats Duke, beats coach k in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: his final game and gets fired by you.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I mean you want that job?
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Staten Iola for your flight? Look at Kirk Ferrance, He's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: been there forever. He goes five hundred every year and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: continues to get paid millions of dollars. Alex, You're right,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: you are ste Gods.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: I'll take the crown now they got the Young Stu
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Gotts Award.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Taylor is so accustomed to people just wanting that Carolina job.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But I understand why you're saying that and why.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: You would be frustrated. But college sports has changed.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Like Tommy Lloyd is happy at Arizona, he doesn't need
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to deal with the headaches of the University of North Carolina.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just a different time. And Mike Malone
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: was just preferred job. So he's like, yeah, I'm in,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm good with Carolina, Let's go Taylor.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I know the feeling, and you know the feeling as
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Yankees fans. These free agents they're Yankees until they're not.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: And these coaches they're the next coach of Carolina until
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: they would rather stay in Iowa. I get the feeling,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: you know, I do. I do, Stu.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: How I'm spinning it today is.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: That you're gonna talk yourself into liking Mike Maloney.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I've already done it. He's a New Yorker first, first,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: and foremost, he's a New Yorker. I'm going to back
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: a New Yorker.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I wanted him to be coach of the Knicks when
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: they fired TIBs, So did I. Yes.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: So at the very least, you know, oh, I didn't
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: know that. Well, at the very least he's still a
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: tremendous upgrade over Hubert Davis. There's no buyout, so we
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: could reinvest some of that money. He wanted to be here,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: unlike Ben McCullum and leaves, that's the guy.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, go ahead.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: And if he leaves for the NBA in a couple
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: of years, because he has his pickup job at the
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: very least, that most likely means that whatever happened at
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Carolina went pretty well.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: So I do think it's fair.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: To say that Carolina's athletic department has has earned a
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: bit of skepticism from the fan base after how bad
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: the Bill Belichick hire went after that first year. But
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: this does feel like a high risk, high reward type
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: situation bringing in somebody like Mike Malone.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Michael Malone, Sorry.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Does it make you feel better that Michael Jordan lobbied
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: for him?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: How?
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: How sure are we that?
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Because every time anything comes out around Carolina, it's Michael
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Jordan did this, Michael Jordan did that, And then.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Well you're saying, that's Carolina saying that Michael Jordan supported
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Mike Malone.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: To make you happier about the signing of Mike Malone.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because when when it was rumored that we were
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: talking to Tommy Lloyd. It was Michael Jordan called Tommy Lloyd,
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: and then Tommy Lloyd was asked about it in his
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: press conference, He's like, no, Michael Jordan never called me.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Steve Caer did, yes, Steve is mj like a main
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: UNC NIL donor.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know too much about it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: So the report that I read was that Roy Williams
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and Michael Jordan, amongst others, really got behind Mike Malone and.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Really pitched it to the University of North Carolina.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: So I could see that being the case for Roy
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Williams for sure, because Roy Williams is still very heavily involved,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: and when you talk about Carolina wanting to kind of
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: bridge together the Carolina family with whatever this next head
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: coach is, you would need almost Roy Williams blessing for
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: whoever it is. Michael Jordan, there's been some conflicted reports
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: on how involved he is with carolina Is NIL programs,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: and there's some thought there that he doesn't want to
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: get too involved with Carolina's NIL programs because he still
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: does have, you know, the Michigan Jordan brand, the Florida
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Jordan brand, Oklahoma Jordan brand. He has other Jordan schools
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: that aren't just exclusive to North Carolina.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So it sounds like Taylor that MJ is putting UNC
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: in his rankings below jump Man and below NASCAR.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: So that's where UNC is sitting. They're sitting in the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: three hole right now. You're ahead of the bulls, but
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: you're below race car driving here.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: It seems like he's doing the Uh. Other schools are
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Republicans or other schools by Jordan's too, where he did
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: the Republicans and the Democrat not really wanting to.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Take a side.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Michigan does.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Michigan buys Jordan's too.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where Taylor, you got an NBA champion and his
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: coach man, I mean, and you're right. I think that's
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: a great point by Taylor, Alex. If Mike Malone is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: no longer the head coach at Carolina in five years,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it means he did something spectacular at Carolina. Otherwise he's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: gonna sit there like Belichick is sitting there right now.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: So, like Taylor should be excited if that does indeed
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: happen within the next five years, because it means he's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: done well at Carolina and then other people are gonna
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: want that job.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: So Taylor, what are the odds that Malone is the
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: coach of UNC five years from now?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a great question.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Do you want him to be the coach at UNC
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: four years? Also a great question? Wow, because Taylor, if
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: he's not, that means he's done great things already there,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you know, orban unlows he thinks that he's got himself highed.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: So my hope is that Michael Malone took this job
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: thinking I'm gonna be the Carolina coach for until I
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: want to retire from basketball. So if he goes in
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: with that thinking, yes, I would like him to still
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: be here in five years. If his thought process was
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna kind of rehab my career to get back
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: to the NBA, then I don't think he's gonna be.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: There is no way he's about to be at U
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: n C for the rest of his life and the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: rest of his career.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: There's no way, by the way, I think, if he
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: wins at UNC, I don't think his value then goes
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: back up and he goes back to the NBA. I
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: think if he wins at U n C, then he's
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: immortalized at you n see and then he stays at
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: u n see right.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so if he wins the title, who wins
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the title first?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Him or John Shire? It better be John Shire. I
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: had better be John I'm Shire. I'm so rooty for Carolina.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Oh it's feeling snake bitten, but it better be John Shire.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I mean they're closer, but we know that could turn
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it a year. Like it's right, you're not concerned about
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Shire or at all, just his inability to you know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: win the big game.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I'm yeah, of course I'm concerned, but I don't think
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: the seat at is sizzling hot.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think that. But I am concerned. But a
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: couple more years of this, I mean yeah.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: If they lose next year in a way that they
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: lost the past two years, you.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Can't do that, then we'll be having some some some
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: serious talks. Alex.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: For for some reason, if Ucon's ad comes up to
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: you today, it was like, hey, we'll trade you Shire
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: for Dan Hurley.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: You don't take it as a Duke fan, of course
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: you did. Wait, the coacher just went to three national
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: championships in four years. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean yes.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: You have to stab one of your own in the back.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Well no, so here's the thing. He can go to Doke.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: He didn't attend the university, so he could say these
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: things with no ramifications.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Are correct?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Careful about what it is he says. I mean he
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: has to go back there.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's a crazy I mean, is it?
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Is there a coach better than Dan Hurley right now? No? No,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: he's the best coach in college. Well, yeah, I thought right.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: How about Dusty?
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought you were going to throw a name
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: out that's on a similar tier list if we're talking
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: tierless here.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Uh, well we'll.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Get to uh Taylor's baseball tiers after ten games at
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a second, because he still cares about sports.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: How about Dusty May?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Nope, you would keep John Shy or Dusty May just
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: proved to you that he could win the big game.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's uncomfortable. Yeah, I would do it. I
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: would do it. There, I said it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I would do it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Of course you would you that three months ago, I
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: would have said, you're for that. But a lot can
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: change in two months. Three months, Yes, Alex.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: To segue to baseball, we were doing a hypothetical trade.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Yet last week that Stugotts was laughing at me. Ad
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: nan Birk was laughing at me. Where I said, Cam Schlitzler,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: I love Cam Schlittler me, Mikey, ever.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Get Cam Schlitller today today? By the way. Yeah, well,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: spoiler alert, you're about to laugh at him. Go ahead.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: I said, if the Pirates called and offered a one
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: for one trade Cam Schlitzler for Paul Schins, Hello, I'm
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: hanging up that phone.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: A one for one yeah, straight up? Yep, laugh at him.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I'm like the biggest Cam Schliller fan. So I'm what
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: am I missing here? Not Taylor being a dope? Tell me,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: tell me Taylor go on socer of the moment.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I mean this is a case of Cashman has struggled
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: to have homegrown pitching guys that when you do have
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: a homegrown pitching guy that feels like he could be
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: an ace, it's better to keep that guy and see
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: what he could become. You're looking at the Mets, The
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Mets had the Gram, the Mets at Harvey. Guys like
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: that would feel a lot better than having to go
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: out and get an ace.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mikey is a Yankee fan.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: When you respond to Mikey is a Yankee fan, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: he doesn't believe the words that are coming out of
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Taylor's mouth right now.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: You know what this this is, This is yesterday, This
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: is you not hedging your bet.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: This is I would rather stand on my morals and
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: lose money than actually win.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Like, no, no, no, you know what this is the
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: one you take it. This would be.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Me saying I don't want to trade John Shire for
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Bobby Curly.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: That's what this is. Is one of our own. That's
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: what this is.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: I think mikey A is right though, because a part
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: of me is like I would rather lose with Cam
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Schlitzler than win with Paul Skins.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't. I understand what you're win. No, I
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: understand what he's saying. The homegrown talent, especially pitchers, it's great.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: They come through the farm system.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I had it in the eighties with the Mets, with
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Dwight Gooden and Ron Darling and those guys.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I get it. I understand it.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You had it with the Yankees before Jeter came through
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the farm system. Other Yankee graats have come through that
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: farm system. But Paul Skeens is the best picture in baseball. Taylor,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I mean you want your team to get better, don't you?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Taylor Sitler right now? Right, I called him Shitler.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I said it a couple of last week, two weeks ago.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: I think he'll be the best Yankee starter by the
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: end of the year. Would I treat him for Paul
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Skeans one for one?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if if Skeens and Schlittler were on the same team,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: who would have the better year?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Right? Right?
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: But I will say since since Cam entered the league,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: he has been the best starting pitcher in baseball. So
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say Taylor is is that great?
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: But Paul Skeen's I mean, I mean Skeens.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: You know what Skeens is, right, and you know what
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: he's he's going to be how many starts as Schlitler
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: made It's it's not a lot, right.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, He's he's pitched.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I saw one hundred innings, so call that I don't know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: twelve fifteen starts.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: So there's like you could still envision a scenario where
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he's not nearly.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: As good as Paul Skiings, Right, But.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: You've also seen Cam Schlitller in a big game spot. Yes,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: he absolutely against Boston. And if you can do that
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: against Boston in a winner, go home playoff game.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I guess we don't know what Paul Skeens is like
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: in that kind of game yet, so.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying into it. Yeah, well no, that's what
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: he wanted to kind of talk it. Well, no, because
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that's it. He saw of him play, he saw him
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: in a big spot, he saw him in the playoffs.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: It was against the Red Sox. Taylor couldn't bring himself
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to root for Roman Anthony during the World Baseball Classic
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: game because he is right, you can do it, Red.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I understand him. I couldn't cheer for Jack Hughes throwing
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: out the first pitch. I think you stadium either, But
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: how about in the actual hockey game though? Were you
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: rooting for him? Uh?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: And then by the next day I was. I was
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: back to being a Rangers fan. A guy's danced on
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: my grave every chance he could over the last couple
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: of years.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: It takes a special kind of person to do it
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx in the postseason against the Red Sox.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: And you don't know if Skeins is wired that way,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I understand, but he's still the best fucking picture in baseball.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm doing that trade.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, do you wanna before we get him out
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: of here, do you want to give us your your
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: baseball tiers through ten games.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I want to ask him about Dexter Lawrence in the second.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: So this is Taylor's tears, and this is the Taylor's
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: tears today on Tuesday.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Who Else's tears? Taylor's tears on a Tuesday?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: My tears, I mean Taylor's tears on a Tuesday.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Showdown here, our national show. We counter programs it to
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the locals know. Tier Tuesday is a good thing to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: bust out today.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, well we'll start doing Tier Tuesdays.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: But today's topic is baseball teams and I have nine
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: tiers Alex through Tinnish games.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna give you the tier and the teams
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: in that tier and then just get your opinion on him.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Yep, first tier bad for baseball.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers bad for baseball. Yep, bad for baseball. I
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: mean this time next year, hopefully we're watching baseball.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: As long as that's Tier one, I'm okay with it anyway,
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: whatever you want to call it, as long as it's.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: The top tier.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Since I said a few days ago on the radio
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: show that Otani is overrated.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: He's hit seventeen home runs. Anyway, go ahead, tell you.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: You really got to be careful with Otani because when
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: he gets hot, he gets.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, stambling person.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: He can happen quickly with.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: He can carry a team like a few guys, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: in a sport where you cannot carry teams.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: The next thank you.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: The next tier I have, Alex, it's the contenders tier.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: I only have two contenders right now?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Wow? Did I guess them?
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Guess?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Yes? I like it.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say the Yanks, of course. And then
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, he went to for two. Really you believe.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: In that brew crew?
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Get out of here. I mean, same season every season.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: I bet their they're season over, They're they're team total over.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: This year. I have a future on them. What was
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: it eighty four? Oh god, you're right. They had him
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: dropping from ninety seven to eighty four wins. That's crazy,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: you're eight already.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: That that Brewers team.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: They could lose whoever they wanted free agency, they can
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: trade away their ace. They are still going to be
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: a ninety plus win team. Seemingly almost every year that is.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: In the first round of the playoffs.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my problem with the Brewers. I got regular seasons.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Do it in the postseason. They're not a condemment.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: My next tier Elx is I don't really love the vibes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: There just one team there.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: That has to be the Boston Red Sox.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: No, Wow, the Red Sox aren't a different tier.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: It has to be the sell the team tier.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Wow, he's guessing my tears.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: This is amazing.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: The Red Sox are in the cell sell the team tier.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Taylor, we haven't texted about this as much to not
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: call it to sell.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: The teams here.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, Taylor and I have been sending this back and
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: forth with the fans at Fenway channing sell the team.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: And for the first time in my life, of my
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: whole life of hating Red the Red Sox and Red
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Sox fans, I actually agree with Red Sox fans because
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: I would be pissed if I for them.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: This warms my heart.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: These are kindred spirits here, These are these are great friends.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: These this is this is too Listen, Duke and Carolina
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: guys getting along.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Man, in this day and age, it is fresh eating
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to see no one gets along. And here you have
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: a guy who didn't go to Carolina, who went to
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Carolina loves Carolina, and a guy who didn't go to
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Duke but still loves Duke anyway because he's a front
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: runner and they're getting.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Out necessary shot.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, your body, who's the bad vibes team?
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: So my bad vibes team? It's the New York Mets.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, terror bad vibes. Well these are Mets vibes, Yes exactly.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: SOO goes on the il.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: It seems like Francisco Lindor just hates everybody on that team,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: which kind of seems like a problem their first place.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's something weird with that locker that is
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: one hundred certain. I mean, even last year, we know
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: for a fact there was I saw that opening day
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: video where Lindor and Soto didn't shake hands in the
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: in the in the introductions.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: That's weird. You're not gonna make too big of a
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: deal of it, but that's weird. Taylor put it on
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the pole. Can you say a team.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: That's won three straight and that's in first place, can
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: you say they have bad vibes? Can I just wait
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: for a losing streak.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, my next tier is good question mark, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: there's only one team there.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, want to guess it, the Angels.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Now the Angels are in a different tier.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Can I take a guess? Yep, all right, give me
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the tier again. The name of it good question mark,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds No, right, the Vision, Pirates, the Pirates, Skians, Skians.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Just think about if O'Neil Kruz could catch a pop fly,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: they would be in the great tier.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Now they're in a good question mark tier.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Just to be clear, Taylor saying there's a chance that
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the Pirates are good.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: He's just not certain yet, right, So he's asking the question.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: This is on the question mark.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, there's a chance that Ryan O'Hearn might be the
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: best player in baseball this season. Through ten games, he's
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: their first baseman's betting three to sixty four.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Those are Ben Rice numbers.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: And that's why it's good question mark.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: We got it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: The next one, the next tier, it's you guys gotta
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: figure it out.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: And there's three teams and you guys, we.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Have to figure out the tier. Okay, So okay, these
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: teams need to figure it out.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: You guys gotta figure it out.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: There's three many teams, all right, three, all right, Alex,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: go ahead, I'm gonna throw the Giants in there.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Nope, So the Giants are in my panic. The panic
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: button has already been pressed. Here the Padres, Mike, you
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: got it. The Blue Jays are one of the teams,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: and that you gotta figure it out here.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: They kind of stink this year.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I like that, Padres.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Guess yes, Padres, we're not in it there.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Four and six. It's one hundred and two fucking games.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: The Mariners, the Mariners, the Mariners. Yeah, the Yankees dismantled them.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: And the fact that we're having this conversation ten games
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: end of the season is insane.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm also so proud of them. But can
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: we just pumped the brakes for a second. They're four
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and six And he said they were a mess this year.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't say.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: I didn't say they were a mess.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: I said, you guys gotta figure it out, Okay.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, by the way, they could have been the
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: bad Vibes team.
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, Mikey, the Tigers are in a different tier for me.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: The Tigers at four and six, I've moved them into
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: the pretenders.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wow, there is.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Still one more team and that you guys got to
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: figure it out here.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It wasn't the Padres, right and now Central and l.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Central Okay, uh, Cardinals, it's the Cupubbies, the Cubbies. Yeah, counsel.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: At six. You gotta figure it out. Listen, there we're back.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I might be.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: So. Then there's one more tier, and it's the feisty tier.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I know it. I know over the weekend.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's three teams in the feisty Tier.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I know one of them, Alex knows. One of
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: them might be the Marlins.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: The Marlins lead the leader.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they lead the league in feist They do
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: first place at the.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Game on Saturday, sitting in forty degree weather for the
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: longest game in pitchclock history, as the Marlins fouled one
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: ball off after another and walked twelve guys.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: It was you know, I'm sick of the Martins, sick
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: of you know.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: You know why.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Taylor's Tears.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I mean they are four and oh and one running games.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: That's feisty. That's what feisty is all about.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: And the other key to being a feisty team is
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: you can never look at a team and get confused
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: if they're good or not. Like everybody could look at
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: the Marlins and be like, we're pretty sure that's not
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: a good team.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: But man, they are feisty.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I think having players. I think having players you can't name,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: they're feisty. The White Sox are first.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, they went from a White safe in one year.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: White Sox are the second team in the feisty category.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, it has to be a team that's not really
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: that talented, that had very low expectations coming because it
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: can't be a great team. A great team cannot be feisty.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Taylor put that on the pul Can the Yankees ever
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: be feisty.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: No, that goes that goes against everything.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I stam, you mentioned them earlier. The final team in
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: the feisty tier it's Angels.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really, why are you so excited about that?
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I thought that Joe Adell catch, actually not just the catch,
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: the picture from the catch of him in right field
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: holding the ball up.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: From the sands was one of the coolest pictures. And
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: I've seen a recent memory.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're within twenty five games of Trout getting hurt.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I'll take the under two respectfully.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: You would, really, yeah, I would. Actually he got hit
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: in the hand.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, two days ago.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: He's already on the I l yea for the guy.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I think we were robbed. We were robbed of Mike Trout.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: He's won three m vps though, man, I mean he's
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: never won a playoff game. Well that's on him.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: I mean right, it is on him. But we were
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: robbed because of his stupidity.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: If only he had I mean, imagine that team.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's the that's the a Rod.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: On the Rangers tier. You are a great player on
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a bad team.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: Yes, Alex, there's an unpopular opinion. You mentioned the the
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Joe Adell catch the three robberies from this past weekend,
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: the third robbery. He leaves his feet, jumps, robs the
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: home run and lands in the crowd, and he gets up,
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: he holds the ball up, called it out. There's some
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: people on baseball Twitter that are kind of against fun,
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: kind of against cool, and said losers, if you catch
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: a ball that carries you into the crowd, it should
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: be a home run.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: And you have to catch a football with two hands too.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Come on, come on, we want more fun, more cool.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Like I'm an unbelievable catch. It wasn't like I think
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: if you go in the hands and establish you know,
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: two feet on the ground, established possession. And I have
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: a problem with it if you make an unbelievable catch
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: and in the process fallover. I mean, what happens in
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Fenway when you catch a ball and right field and
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: flip over there?
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: That's a catch. Yes, it's a catch. Yes, But you
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: want more fun in baseball?
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm sorry lobby for ponds in the outfield and
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a trampoline.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I mean so.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: And if we were doing fun, rank of every team
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: of every league right now, I think baseball is close
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: to the top.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I love that Billy had onto the outfield that you
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: can dive.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Into to make a diving catch.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: It's one idea trampoline you jump, you jump on it,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: it takes you over the fence. You make catches over
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: the fence. Fantastic. Manford hated all of them. We pitched
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: them to him. He's done a good job, Manford, has
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: he not? Would you agree with that? And like he's not,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's terribly liked. Okay, but under his
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: watch baseball has had a resurger it so and you
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: have to give them credit for it, right.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: One hundred per I would love to know what theo
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: Epstein's role is in this, because things got a lot
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: better when he brought theo Epstein to really change up
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: the game, and theo Epstein fixed the Red Sox. He
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: fixed the Cubs, and I kind of feel like he's
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: fixing major League Baseball right now too. I think the
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: biggest test for Manfred hasn't even come up yet. There's
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: still remnants of how he handled the Astros scandal that
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: pissed me off. But when he's done for the actual game,
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: night in and night out, basis and games are under
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: two hours forty minutes, ABS is a hit, there's more
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: stolen bases, there's more balls in play. I think that
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: coupled with teams I don't want to say going away
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: from analytics, but less three outcome baseball. Yes, I think
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: that's great for the game we saw in the World
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Series last year.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: All I'm going to skip over Dexter Lawrence here in
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the Giants.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's not going anywhere a Giant good. I like that.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: That's it, you covered it. That's good. If they trade him,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: then the good vibes perfect are no more. Yes, but
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I amfore to trade.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Him as a youngsterigats who still cares about sports. How
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: do you treat this week? Because for me, this is
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the greatest week on the sports calendar. It's the only
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: thing I've been consistent about over twenty years of doing
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: this is that this week Masters week is the greatest
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: sports week on the calendar.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Will you be glued to it Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Well, look, I don't want to lose my young Stu
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Gott's throne within forty five minutes.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I'm a weekend Master, Scott.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not one of those guys who will put it
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: on on Wednesday during the practice round to just stare
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: at the greens and I can't.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of people that that do. But yeah,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I'll be I'll be locked in this weekend. Okay, moving
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: day and final round?
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But like let's say it's the final round
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: and the Yankees are you know not in at five
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: apiece at the bottom of the eighth inning? Like where
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: both on the Yankees?
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Well the question is which one the sound is on.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: But I'll be locked in this weekend, right. Have you
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: been to Augusta yeah, I went a couple of years ago, Okay,
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: and I assume it's everything it's.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Made out to me and more. Yes, Yeah, incredible. Yeah.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Look, I don't think there's any sporting event that has
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: the branding and the pageant of Masters like it's it's
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: Masters Week. People are watching it on Tuesday and it
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: goes all week, and you can't say that about really
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: any other golfing tournament. I'll be locked in this weekend.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: But do you have any locks? Do you have any
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: good picks for me?
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Stu Well, I mean, Scheffler is the obvious pick. He
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: has played well this year, but he's wanted a bunch
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: and he's the best golfer in the world and his
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: best is better than everyone else's best.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Of course, I would take a flyer.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: On Jordan's Speith. I would put a flyer on Tommy Fleetwood.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I think he's he's.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Playing pretty well.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Trying that Jason Day is a guy I would take
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: a flyer on.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of it. I bet Jason Day
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: for every major.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Robert McIntyre has played, uh has played really well. Yeah,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I know that's what the Masters is all about. It's
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: just flyers. That's all. But for the first time in
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: a long time, there is no you know, it was
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Phil and Tiger all the time. And I know Rory
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: won it last year. I don't I can't. I can
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: imagine gonna win it again this year. He's not playing
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that well. Uh, Scheffler is the obvious pick, but that's
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the odds great.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: There.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I would go Tommy Fleetwood. He is due, like he's
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: bound to win that tournament. He's always in contention. He's
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: never won it, he's never won a major. Tommy Fleetwood,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: and you'll probably get good value on So all right,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I'll sprinkle, all right, a little sprinkle, Yeah, like that?
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: You are, mate, Jesus Christ, two of you. I mean, seriously,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They're sprouting up everywhere. I should be proud,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm not. I'm concerned.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: I enjoy watching golf a lot more when I have
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: money on it.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: I'll just be honest. When you have money on a
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: guy coming back nine, like yeah, time for that. Yeah,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: but you'll still take a nap. I mean, if you're
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: not taking a naptor in the Masters, you're doing it wrong.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poletael or if you're not taking
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: a naptor and the masters.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Are you doing it wrong?
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Alex, I think to fully enjoy the Masters, you sneak
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: in a twenty five minute power in that.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Right, unless the Yankees are not it at five in
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the eighth, yes before the seventh inning.
